This is really starting to piss me off.

Now, why is it that on TV you can constantly make fun of Catholics (look at Family Guy where every time there's a priest you know he's a child molester) Jews (again, Family Guy a prime offender) and a whole Bill Maher movie has been devoted to insulting religious people, but whenever anything Muslim appears in popular culture, "OH NOES, MUSTN'T OFFEND THE MUSLIMS!!!!!!"

The mealy-mouthed response is, "But they might get violent."

So what? People get violent and froggy in this country every day, and we have this thing called police to take them and put them in jail. I suggest we make use of them.

Oh but you must realize, to the Catholic League (which as far as I can tell consists of Bill Donohue and....Bill Donohue) screams blue murder if a priest is shown in a way any more edgy than in "Going My Way".

This icon would even piss them off.
